Sister for Francis

Girl Names
1

My husband and I are expecting our second child in less than two months! We do not know the gender. We have decided on a name if the baby is a boy, but are having trouble settling on a girls name.

We have one son named [name_u]Francis[/name_u], so I would like the name to go well with his.

Your opinion on the names we like, as well as new suggestions are welcome!

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]

Thank you for the help!

All the names on your list are lovely and go well with [name_u]Francis[/name_u]. I’m not a fan of nick names so the least favourite is [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], only because it is a long name and I think she is likely to end up with a nickname.

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] - While I live [name_f]Silvia[/name_f], I’m not too crazy about the [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] spelling, or the nickname [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. It does go well with [name_u]Francis[/name_u] though.
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] - I don’t like this name. It reminds me of ill for some reason.
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] - I like this name, but it’s not my favourite. I prefer [name_f]Heloise[/name_f] or [name_f]Louise[/name_f]/[name_f]Louisa[/name_f].
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] - I love this name! [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lena[/name_f]/[name_f]Lina[/name_f] are cute nicknames.

From your list I like [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] best, to match [name_u]Francis[/name_u] I’m going to suggest [name_f]Gloria[/name_f].

5

From your list I think that [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] are the best in general and with [name_u]Francis[/name_u].

6

My favorites with [name_u]Francis[/name_u] are [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] and [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]! I’d like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] too.

7

From your list I like [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] the most. [name_f]Isla[/name_f] seems too modern next to [name_u]Francis[/name_u]. I adore [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] but I agree with previous poster that it is rather long. [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] is a name I don’t like, but if it is your choice then I’d change it to [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f].

I would further suggest:
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Annora[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Nathalie[/name_f]

8

[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] is beautiful and I think it looks nice with [name_u]Francis[/name_u], and I would suggest [name_f]Eugenia[/name_f], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] or [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] :slight_smile:

9

I think that [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] fits beautifully with [name_u]Francis[/name_u]. All of your ideas truly fit well with the name, but [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] gets my vote!

I usually think “[name_u]Francis[/name_u]” is a girl name (when I hear it vs when I see it written down) so I would go for a name that sounds very feminine. I think [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] are all beautiful, but my favorite with [name_u]Francis[/name_u] is [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you use nicknames? I think [name_m]Frank[/name_m] and [name_f]Eva[/name_f]/[name_f]Evie[/name_f] is very sweet. I also like [name_m]Frank[/name_m] and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]; [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] would be my second choice.
